Luxeon III, An 80-Lumen Long-Life LED
Lumileds' Luxeon family allows designers to achieve desired light output with fewer LEDs than the company's original 25-lumen product, simplify engineering and manufacturing.
"Lighting designers and architects are frequently reluctant to specify unproven lighting technologies," said Kevan Shaw, Lighting Designer.
"Identification of luminaire manufacturers that adhere to a common set of technical design criteria and who will support and stand behind their products give professional lighting designers the confidence to specify LED products in their projects." Designers, architects and other specifiers who work with Certified Luxeon Luminaire Manufacturers are now assured they receive luminaires capable of delivering the desired lighting effects as well as reliable long-term performance.
Luminaire manufacturers and related solution providers can guarantee performance to end users through a clearly defined set of design and development requirements.
